You don't have amnesia, but you don't have perfect memory either. Memory is like a muscle though, the more you exercise it, the more it grows. So if you keep memorizing things, your capabilities will increase. Only a doctor can diagnose amnesia. Poeple with amnesia tend to have "blanks" in their memory. They forget whole packs of time. If you have doubts, or don't remember days all together, you may wanna get checked up, to see if it's amensia or not, and what you can do about it.How do you know if you have amnesia?
if you wake up and can't remember your own name, what day of the week it is, where you live or what you do for a living you have a problem (or one hell of a hang-over!)

I have my doctor's prescription, in which it is clearly written.
